Yesterday, Saturday, I had a lovely day.
First I got to sleep in with Beau. Bliss. Then I went up Kapiti coast with Jenni and visited with her Parents for a while. They are nice to me. Also I asked them if they had any lavender cuttings I might have for my third formers who will shortly be trying to make essential oils. They were more than happy for me to have some.
I went out with Jenni's Dad and he hacked at three plants and I got three shopping bags worth and also one of rosemary. Lavender is a bit like a weed for them, it even grows in the gravel of their driveway. Jenni's Mum then gave me a little live Lavender plant in a pot. I also think there's a rosemary plant in there. Yay! Soo sweet smelling and good. My car smells pretty divine after lugging all that back to Wellington.
After that we headed over to Matt and Debz house for some Roleplaying (a hobby I fully endorse and enjoy). We're playing a game with a Buffy setting. No slayers have shown up yet and only one vampire so far, not that any of our characters saw it. I'm really enjoying the game, especially as I haven't played in games before with several of the people in our group. It's really neat seeing what idea's and comments other people come up with. If you want to know more about our game you can look at the link on the side of my page.
Anyway, on our way there we went to Lindale farm and I bought delicious ice-cream and cheese from the Kapiti Cheese shop and I bought Bee's Knees Cream Liqueur at the Honey Hive. Yum. The ice-cream was creme caramel flavoured and to start with it seems nice but pretty unexciting, until you realise that you can't stop eating it until it is all gone. Soo tasty! Bee's Knees is a bit like Baileys and when I realised it was Matt's Birthday it was open for all to drink and celebrate with. Very tasty. I shall have to get another bottle!
After roleplaying we had pizza and watched Hellboy. Well I only watched half as I had to drive home by 10 so that I didn't turn into a pumpkin. What I did see I quite enjoyed and I got into bed around 10.30 with a nice book and a happy feeling.
Thank you to those people who contributed to my nice day. I don't mention you all by name as I'm not sure how you feel about being written in a blog.
